The book provides a detailed account of solar sailing, at a high technical level but in a way accessible to the scientifically informed layman. Solar sail orbital dynamics and solar radiation pressure form the foundations of the book, but the engineering design of solar sails is also considered, along with potential mission applications. This book introduces the subject and at the same time provides a technical reference source.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2004-02-20\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783540210627\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 254cm x178cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 296\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45986264416396,"sku":"9783540210627","price":134.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783540210627.jpg?v=1775682896","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783540210627","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
